forward-port IMPORT_BINARY_PLUGS to OpenJDK7

[Daniel Fuchs]

Hi guys,

I could take care of applying the same patch than what I did
a few months ago for OpenJDK 6.

Namely, if you compile OpenJDK with the binary plugs, the SNMP
runtime will be compiled and included in rt.jar. If you compile
without the binary plugs, the SNMP runtime will not be included.

If you try to activate the SNMP agent on an OpenJDK instance that
doesn't have the SNMP runtime in rt.jar then you will get an
exception.

This was integrated in OpenJDK 6 b06.
6661448: Make the SNMP agent optional when OPENJDK=true
          and IMPORT_BINARY_PLUGS=false

Would that help?

Cheers,
